Family Snapshots

Sixty-five 90-second modules, each a complete micro-drama, about the absurdities, traumas, and tiny ecstasies of family life.

They?re unlike anything you?ve ever heard. They?re funny and moving ? each one a surprise. They're the story you?ve heard your dad tell for 30 years. The searing words overheard in the supermarket line. The hour you felt most alone, or most absurd, or most alive. With the barbed hook of a commercial spot, they?re unabashed sales pitches for being human.

How to use them? Morning drive. Evening drive. Before the news. After the news. Follow-up or change-of-pace in a talk show. Anytime as an ear-catching sweetener.

Described by Bill Siemering (first program director of NPR) as ?the most evocative 90 seconds in radio." By the program director of WMUH, Allentown, as "the most thought-provoking 'sweetener' we?ve ever had." And by the Cleveland Plain Dealer as ?what radio can be when good intentions, fine execution, and stunning creativity come together.? Hide full description
